Navy, cream, and—dare we say—Millennial Pink are just a few tried-and-true hues that have paid their dues. And while there’s something to be said for falling back on the basics, it’s often the colors that only get to enjoy a brief moment in the spotlight that excite us the most. The latest underdog to venture out from the crowd? Lime green.
Unlike its calming counterparts—think moss or mint—this acidic shade doesn’t pacify the senses: It electrifies them. Slimy circumstances have long given the curious color a not-so-sophisticated rap, but it looks like 2019 will be the year the sticky hue takes an elevated turn.
In the same way mustard yellow or tiger orange can instantly revitalize a room—even when used in small doses—lime green decor has a polarizing power to stop you in your tracks. The citrus-inspired shade might not prove to withstand the test of time, but we’re here to enjoy it while it lasts. From sculptural planters to supernatural vases, here are 11 lime green decor finds for every type of decorator.
